Topek... no thats not right. Google, Kansas!

In a formal proclamation Monday, Bunten announced his city will be known as "Google" -- Google, Kansas.

The unusual move comes as several U.S. cities elbow for a spot in Google's new "Fiber for Communities" program. The Web giant is going to install new Internet connections in unannounced locations, giving those communities Internet speeds 100 times faster than those elsewhere, with data transfer rates faster than 1 gigabit per second.

In a remarkably crass act of prostitution, Topeka has up and changed its name to Google for the month, ABS-CBN News reports. The name change is a way for the mayor to thank Google for using Topeka as a test ground for a high-speed internet network.

The way it its worded to "thank Google" makes it sound like they were selected. But I do not see that on the article they link to. Anyone have more info on who they picked, or if they even have picked yet?
